    Which mp3 player

    Do u reccommend?
    Listen to lots of long mixes so im after one thats good for skipping thru sets. Phone mp3 players are useless for that.

    aye.
    I-pod every time for me. Got a 4 gig nano for xmas and its easily the best mp3 player ive had.

    Had a couple before i got this, a sony one (cant remember what it was called though cost £150 so was half decent) and a couple others too, though youre best off with an ipod imo :up:

    ipod, ipod, ipod.

    strange fact: i was the first person in the north east to own an ipod mini when they first came out years ago, still got it somewhere like - to a point it was better than any other pod because i:

    dropped it while running on concrete 4 times
    dropped it in a puddle
    stepped on it
    dropped it down the bog.

    and it still worked! ledgendary, then after that the first gen nano's came out and totally fucked up on everyone.

    got a new 4gig nano atm, hasnt fucked at all, no problems and looks sweet.

    10/10 :up:

    no, although i've never bothered looking at the alternatives

    i've always had creative mp3 players, they're really good and I believe their batteries are far better than ipods...at least they used to be anyway
